Don and Barbara were great, longtime friends of ours. Don missed Barbara acutely after she was gone. I’m glad they can be united again, and also with Ramona. God bless Paula, Allison, and other family members for the wonderful care they gave Don and Barbara.

Don was such a kind, gentle man. He was a member of our GriefShare group after beautiful Barbara passed away. He grieved her death so deeply and knowing they were both believers am absolutely thrilled they are together again. He missed her so, so deeply. I knew them from long ago at FBC Independence and got to enjoy reuniting our friendship at FBC Lees Summit. My sincerest condolences to all his family. He was a beautiful soul.
